The steward for Brookhaven National Laboratory's capabilities in
biology and biotechnology, environmental science, climate science,
radiobiology, structural biology, and bio-imaging, including radiotracer
development and their applications in plant biology and neuroscience.

The Nonproliferation and National Security Department carries out
research and development, provides technical support, and builds
prototype systems to further U.S. government initiatives and policies in
nuclear materials safeguards and security, arms control treaty
verification, nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction, Material
Protection Control and Accountability initiatives for nuclear materials
in Russia and the NIS, and related national security areas.

The Department of Nuclear Science and Technology conducts research
and development related to nuclear technologies (reactors and
accelerator-driven systems), reliability and risk assessment, and
advanced modeling techniques for reactor simulation and energy systems.

The Computational Science Center brings together researchers in
biology, chemistry, physics and medicine with applied mathematicians and
computer scientists to take advantage of the new opportunities for
scientific discovery made possible by modern computers.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical,
biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security.
Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry
and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven
Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by the Research Foundation for the State
University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory
facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit applied science and technology organization.
